The Siege of Tyre Shocked Persia Into Learning Alexander Couldn’t Be Stopped

The city of Tyre was never supposed to fall. Rising from the sea behind towering walls, it had survived the great empires of the ancient world for centuries. It was 332 BCE. When Alexander the Great arrived on the Levantine coast, Tyre believed it could wait him out. Instead, the siege would shock the Persian Empire—and reveal that this young Macedonian king was not an invader who could be contained. Welcome back to Ancient War Stories. Today, we’re exploring the Siege of Tyre, how Alexander turned the sea itself into a weapon, and why this single city forced Persia to realize that Alexander couldn’t be stopped.
